Griffin earned an undergraduate degree in Philosophy, History, and Statistics from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Quantic Institute of Business and Technology. He’s had a long-standing obsession with competitive public speaking and most recently served as a volunteer coach for the Cornell University debating society (Worlds/British Parliamentary format).
